Most résumé tools make your career look smaller.

Generic AI tools and résumé optimizers compress your experience to fit one page. They delete the quota numbers, the awards, and the rankings, the details that earn interviews. Kerning keeps them and puts them to work.

I pasted my résumé into a generic AI tool and it gave me back something that could have been anyone. Every win I had spent ten years earning, compressed into three generic bullets.

— Enterprise Software AE, Austin TX
  • 01

    Generic AI strips your wins.

    Every bullet becomes "drove growth" and "exceeded targets." Hiring managers see through it in seconds.

  • 02

    One résumé can't win every job.

    A deal at a retail SaaS and a deal at a legal AI platform need different stories. Most candidates send the same one.

  • 03

    Job boards waste your time.

    Job boards serve up 500 matches. Fifteen are real. You spend Saturday figuring out which fifteen.

  • 04

    Manual tailoring doesn't scale.

    Rewriting twenty résumés by hand takes a weekend. Most people skip it and send the generic version.

Four steps. Under two minutes.

Upload your résumé, answer four short questions, and get a ranked list of jobs with a tailored résumé ready for each one.

01 · UPLOAD

Drop your résumé in.

PDF, Word, or plain text. We parse it and ask four questions: target roles, salary minimum, geography, and dealbreakers.

02 · ANALYZE

We audit and rewrite.

We check your résumé against 2026 ATS standards — length, bolding, keyword density, metrics placement, parser compatibility — and rewrite your baseline to match.

03 · MATCH

We scan the market.

We search every major job board and company career page based on your profile. Every open role gets a 1 to 10 match score and a written explanation.

04 · TAILOR

One résumé per role.

For each job you save, we generate a custom résumé — job title mirrored, skills block matched to the posting, experience reordered to lead with the wins that matter most.

Same career. Two résumés.

On the left: a typical AI-generated résumé for a senior sales candidate. On the right: the same background written by Kerning.

Everything people actually ask.

01How is this different from generic AI writing tools?
Most generic AI tools compress your wins into generic language to fit one page. Kerning preserves every bullet you wrote, every quota, every award, and changes the framing for each specific job. The content stays yours; the emphasis adapts to match each role.
02Will the résumés pass ATS systems?
Yes. Every résumé Kerning generates follows 2026 ATS parsing standards: single-column layout, proper heading hierarchy, a keyword-matched competencies block, and no tables or graphics that trip up parsers.
03Do you submit applications for me?
Kerning can auto-fill application forms, draft your essay answers, and hand you a preview to review. You approve and submit each one yourself. Recruiters can tell when a human reviewed the application, and the final click should always be yours.
04How do you score job matches?
Ten weighted dimensions: domain alignment, competitive experience, quota history, geography, compensation, buyer-persona fit, sales-cycle length, methodology match, vertical expertise, and growth-stage fit. Every score comes with a written rationale.
05Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Month-to-month billing, cancel from your account page at any time. Every tailored résumé you've generated stays downloadable after you cancel.

Your next application deserves your best résumé.

Upload your résumé, get a full audit, see your first scored matches, and generate your first tailored version in under two minutes.
